Posted at the school and on Facebook, there's a lot of religious events and other types of activities.

Great for these types of students

Who like smaller schools and require assistance in school work.

For non-athletics, Inter-morals are available for late night volleyball and basketball competition. There's even a faculty team!

Bang for the buck

Try to get as much scholarship money as possible. This school is a little pricey for basic classes but I've found that it was worth the expense. In a few years MACU's south OKC location will be building a new library and Student Center. It's going to be really cool and awesome for future students!

What to do for fun

Student Life does a good job with events for MACU students. There's bond fires and Admission works hard for Open House events. There are also religious group meetings at night and mission work that can be included into a students community service hours.

Food and Dining

The food is decent. Anyone is able to provide feedback on the food and the kitchen staff are always replying. A salad bar and fruit are always availble, along with soy milk. They could make some more changes every now and then, but most people there don't mind the food much.

Dorm Life

I lived off campus, but played basketball there so sleeping on the couch was convenient because I didn't have to wake up early to drive. The main building is close. The rooms are fairly small without kitchen appliances, but its almost impossible to not make a friend there and worth the stay.

Academic Rigor

MACU has fairly easy classes. Challenged assignments depend on the class level and professor. No matter what though, each professor there will direct any concerns you may have.

Tips for prospective students

Get involved as much as possible! There are plenty of events. Use Academic Success Center's provided tutoring for every class to guarantee good grades. It is proven that you'll make up a 10% better grade overall. I went to tutoring for every test and did 80% or better.

Nathan from East Prairie, MO

For the price i would like to have a bigger dorm room and a better student center and a few more degree options.

What to do for fun

In the men's dorms we will come up with different games in our courtyard to do. I workout a lot so i went to the YMCA everyday literally right across the street. There are a lot of sporting events to go to as well and events the school puts on from time to time.

Food and Dining

The food at MACU is actually really good. They do give you a lot of choices to pick from. They're lunch is really good but i normally always eat salads and it was always good.

Dorm Life

Life in the dorms is great actually. They will pair you up with like minded people and do their best to assist you any way possible. The dorms are kinda small though for some reason there is only one large bedroom to the other three small ones to each dorm. But for me i wasn't in there enough for to make a difference to be honest.

Academic Rigor

The classes they have are very challenging but fair. The professors will help you as much as you want them to, they're so helpful. You will get out of the classes what you put into them.

Tips for prospective students

Go and visit the school at their MACU Mash-up event they have in October it's great. Be willing to open up and try new things and meet some amazing people. Go there with an open mind and open heart and your just might get changed.

In three sentences

MACU is a very small but personable college. The teachers and staff are very helpful and great at what they do. There focus is to help you learn as much as possible and for you to get as close to God as possible which i love.

Shirley from Checotah, OK

I was previously attending the University of Phoenix and the approximate cost was around 14,000 year whereas attending Mid-America Christian University will save me around 6,000 dollars in the end.

What to do for fun

Once again I do not live in that area and cannot speak on that subject.

Food and Dining

I do not live in the area of the school to have experienced this.

Dorm Life

I cannot speak on the dorm life because I am an online student and do not live on the dorm.

Academic Rigor

The classes have a Christian foundation of course but they also hit the most valued and needed points of the major being studied. The classes go in depth in their course work and if enough dedication is attributed by the student than there is no reason for anyone not to excel in whatever field of study they chose.

Tips for prospective students

The main tip I would give a prospective student is to carefully listen to their academic advisor and take into full account what that person has to say. Their advise will help to make your experience with this school a wonderful one and could also help to keep you from going to far into financial debt.

In three sentences

This school has a great strong Christian foundation and ethical background. This institution also has extremely thoughtful and helpful staff members that do their best to meet their pupil's needs in any way possible. This university also not only offers traditional means of schooling but online schooling as well for those working adults and parents who wish to further their education.

Call Mid America Christian University ahead of time and ask for a preview of the school classroom and portal. It's simple, easy, and affordable. I enjoyed the online classes as well as the meeting the other students through the discussion board.

In three sentences

Mid America Christian University is a great school to attend if you like real Christian outlook on the Bible, Leadership in the churches, understanding people on the spiritual point of view. Mid America Christian University professors, instructors, and student success coaches are advanced in Theology and Leaderhip as well as Pastoral knowledge. You can attend this affordable school online as well as on campus.

Great for these types of students

Any student who desires to pursue a degree while keeping in touch with their Christian lifestyle should attend here. The college is non-denominational which is one reason I chose to transfer here from the Catholic university I attended before. Every class has a strong Biblical base while never veering off topic. For ministry students this is a wonderful way to learn to incorporate Biblical teachings and scripture into everyday life while not having the more narrow mind set that some set denomination universities have.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

I don't currently attend classes on campus.

Bang for the buck

Mid-America, to my knowledge, has one of the most affordable adult continuing education opportunities in the state. I attended another private university before and it was about $400 more per credit hour than MACU so in this sense I can tell you that it is very affordable.

What to do for fun

I don't attend the university physically, but there are plenty of wholesome things to do in Okc. The downtown area is really up and coming and with the new basketball and hockey teams there is usually always a game to catch.

Food and Dining

I don't eat at the school so I also can't answer this question.

Dorm Life

I don't stay at the dorms so I am not able to answer this question.

Academic Rigor

The classes are challenging without being defeating. All the tools you need to succeed are given to you and if you get stuck the professors will never hesitate to offer a helping hand. This does NOT mean they will give you answers, rather they will guide you where you need to be to find the answers.

Tips for prospective students

Mid-America offers many different degree options so even if you're unsure at the start, jump in. Let the counselors guide you and don't try to make every decision on your own. It's ok to just take basic education credits your first semester or two and then decide on a major, this is the rest of your life and the staff here understands that.

In three sentences

They are very flexible with their adult program making it easy and efficient to earn a degree while juggling children etc. The staff is very caring and it shows the Christian nature of the university; they can put your mind at ease without making you feel inept. I love that I can choose whether to go to campus or take my classes online, if I feel like I need to be able to see the teacher for a particular class then I can choose to attend the campus course for that particular class, if I feel that I am strong enough to do it online then I choose that option.

I am very thankful and grateful to attend Mid-America Christian University. The staff is very helpful they treat you like family instead of a student. We (the students) have very good success coaches, professor and program chair, when ever I had a problem it was solved immediately.

The school has a Kennedy Hall Building where the library is at, 3 main dorm buildings, the main building and the student center. Chapel is required every weds and fridays. It's also a Christian school.

Bang for the buck

It's pretty afforable, with a meal plan and the dorm room, plus tuition. Just save a couple money and check your bill!

What to do for fun

Join clubs, go to the gym nearby the school, join the school's events like the Spring banquet, sports games, hang out on campus, watch or play games in the student center.

Food and Dining

Not a whole lot of variety of food, less vegetables and breakfast are the same every morning except lunch and dinner. Less fruit and dessert treats. You can make your own waffles, eat cereal, and toast bagels at any time!

Dorm Life

It's like an apartment with four rooms and a small living room and a bathroom with a shower, of course. You can bring food in the dorm with a microwave, a small fridge, and a little toaster oven. You can watch TV but bring your own, free WI-FI, couches are provided.

Academic Rigor

They have some great courses for both Graduate and Undergraduate.

Tips for prospective students

If you are looking to major in the Music program, whether for Music and Worship, Music Business, Music Education or Performance, it is a llot of work! And you will have to learn to play the paino to pass the profiancy piano exam and do community service as part of the graduation requirements.

In three sentences

It's a school and a small community and you're very welcome and even professors knows your name! It's a small school with about 2,000 students both on campus and commuter students. They also offer a Graduate studies program.
